RED CROWN TOURNAMENT DAY TWO: The Contest of Scribes

Another day, another contest that requires you to work well with your fellow users. This time, however, you cannot catch them with your pleas. You need to catch them with your thoughts by making threads users want to post in and then getting them in post in those threads a lot. The rules are, like yesterday, relatively simple:

Rules:

1. Make a new thread on any substantive topic, provided it is suitable and appropriate for the forum you posted it in. The title of the thread should have some indication it is intended for Red Crown judging. Something as simple as “[RC]” or “[Red Crown]” will do fine.
2. A user may not have more than two active threads for this competition going at any one time. They may choose to retire one thread for judging, simply by putting an X before the Red Crown marker they used (eg. [XRC] or [XRed Crown]. At no point may a user have created more than four threads total for this competition, regardless of whether any are retired.
3. A user will earn 1 point for every page they accrue in their designated Red Crown threads in General Discussion, up to a maximum of 11 points per thread or 22 points total.
4. A user will earn 0.5 points for every page they accrue in their designated Red Crown threads in the Speakeasy, Mafia Discussion, or Tapper’s, up to a maximum of 11 points per thread or 22 points total.
4. In order to accumulate points, a user must make at least 1 substantive post in a Red Crown thread per point they seek to earn
5. Threads that are not majority substantive will be manually accounted to determine actual point value.
6. “Substantive”, as used through these rules, should be taken to mean a post that engages a topic or another post in a way that furthers conversation and advances discourse. All edge cases or discrepancies will be determined by game administrator. That person is the same person as site administrator.
7. A user may not, under any circumstances, advertise to or harass other users via PM or Discord. They may, however, include links to their Red Crown threads in their signature if they so choose, as well as post links to their threads in the comments here.

Yes and substantive posts you make will count towards filling pages. But obviously substantive meaning "furthers conversation and advances discourse" limits the amount of posts you can simply make in a row by yourself.

Nobody has taken advantage of the rule saying we are allowed to link our posts here, so, uh, check out my RC thread.

Also, now that I have posted my link here anybody else doing so would obviously just be copying me and you don't want to do that.

Making a slight modification to this: Every thread will get 2 points for every page of their thread, no matter the location. The longest RC thread will also get an ADDITIONAL 11 points for winning this stage of the competition.
